@@crystalrodriguez7844 Peppermint.

lol, uh oh!

LOL

Lol! Oh gosh!

cats are gonna love your breath

Did it make you feel dizzy?

That aroma is so soothing, I love brushing up against it when I'm out in the garden :)

@SewEasyCreations which place are you?

You saw them too? 🧚🏼🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏾‍♂️🧜🏾‍♂️🧞‍♀️

I cut big bunches and tie them together to hang in the house when I leave on vacation. the house smells great when I return and it repels mice.

My pleasure, thanks for the comment :)

Thank you!

Most likely, its Spearmint, one of my new favorite herbs!

Great!

I hope it helped :)

Thanks!

This was much easier to understand the differences then other sources I've checked. I've never cared for spearmint as much. Recently I bought spearmint and the leaves appeared more flat and shiny, different than I expected.

❤

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback.

Good feedback

Thank you!

Thank you.... love it...

Its fun to taste that familiar minty flavor from a green leaf :)

Thank you!

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks, I will try that this year on a few plants. I do love seeing the flowers tho

He's right.. I was given a small pot of mint plants by my neighbor.. and now I have 6' x 4' in my garden of nothing but mint. I dont have the heart to tear it out because I love the smell and the bees love it. Mint will take over your garden.. the roots are like long vines that connect to each plant that pop up.. so you would have to dig up ALL the roots in order to get rid of it.. A small piece of the root left behind will sprout more mint. Mint can grow in about anything, and everything. I did an experiment growing mint in piles of its own roots.. with no soil and it grew. Its a monster.

@@ChristopherJones16 do you know which one keeps spiders away? I heard one of them do

The tea was surprisingly mild, definitely worth a try.

Oh good! Thats why I made this video. Thanks for watching!

😂😉

Thank you for that validation. My taster gets all mixed up and I don't know what is what, especially of I don't have the two plants side by side to compare. The flowers though, yes mine grow along the stem. Now I know.

Both spread very fast and can be propagated from stem cuttings. I like to root them first in water.

Peppermint can cause irritation, so spearmint is the safer option.

Juicy fruit gum haha so good!

Thanks for watching :)

Err on the side of spearmint for garnishing cocktails etc. it's milder and the sweet notes are really nice, peppermint is much more "spicy"

After watching till the end I feel like that was somewhat passive aggressive and I'd like to apologize for it

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

@Next Step • Hi you are correct, this not peppermint but sweet mint. Peppermint has a purple brown stem. Sweetmint has a green stem. Chocolatemint has a dark brown stem. These 3 types of mints are almost identicle but smell different. Spearmint has long narrow green leaves, grows more upright and smells like chewing gum.

Thanks

They can be used interchangeably, so try a test batch to know the strength of the menthol and use the rest accordingly. If its dried it could be either one, but the flavor fades more than other dried herbs so its going to be hard to tell.

That's great, thank you for sharing :)

Probably, yes.

the music I use is always in the video description :)

That is normal, mint is a fast spreading plant, just plant them like normal and any roots above the soil will dry up, thats fine. You most likely have spearmint, but I could not say for sure.

Give it a Grow thank you so much 😊 Your videos are so helpful

There are many different types of mint, some look very different to this spearmint.

@@GiveitaGrow thanks! had no idea there were so many varieties!

So minty! Even brushing up against it smells nice.

Me too!

Yes, Pudina is another name for Mint, it can be either peppermint or spearmint.

In our country it's mainly spearmint

Boiling does a good job of extracting the flavor.

Mint seeds are very small, and smaller seeds can be more difficult to grow. Mint spreads so well from roots, that is the preferred method of growing, but you can grow from seed if you know what you are doing. basically just press them into some potting soil or just dust them so they dont get buried too deep, keep them warm and moist and they should sprout.

@@GiveitaGrow Thanks, so it's difficult but not impossible

Peppermint is pungent! My oregano is the same, it stings the tongue.

@@GiveitaGrow Yeah, thats what I don't really like about it. I just don't enjoy food that sting/cause pain as I think it ruins the dining experience. P.S: I finally got the spearmint version of the breath mints.

We were in a nursery and the guy said they only had spearmint when we wanted peppermint because that was the only variety of flavour we only ever saw in commercial flavourings thinking peppermint was superior ,lol. We bought it anyway and now I think I dodged a bullet buying spearmint instead.

Yeah, I only have spearmint. The difference between the two (peppermint vs spearmint) is subtle, especially when you consider different types of spearmint can look completely different.

I had to go to a nursery where all the varieties of mints they had were labeled, and still double-checked with attendant to make sure. Which is the Yerba Buena? I'm thinking it's the Peppermint, but I only bought Spearmint. Will try it anyway. Can't hurt, and hoping it helps my queasiness.

@@lupejones3694 Thanks...yeah they all look so similar. Good Luck! 💕

@@lupejones3694 And sorry I've forgotten most of the video (wrote that 2 yrs back) so I haven't a clue which on is the Yerba Buena 😂...but in any case I hope the spearmint helps!

Thanks :)

Yeah, you can use the mint fresh, or mix it with mint tea.

@@GiveitaGrow thanks ^^

Spearmint pudhina same

Both!

Spearmint.

Round and fuzzy? Her-ass-mint hehe 😉

He's got the two mixed up. The common garden mint everyone uses in the kitchen is spearmint which is what you would have. It has rounded leaves. i don't know which mint he is using but it's not spearmint.

They can pollinate the flowers just by walking on them.

Yep, very strong.

Nope, just some nestle chocolate chips

@@GiveitaGrow ah. Ok. 👍

:)

Mint :)

I agree.

Dont exaggerate...they're both nice:)

Thanks for the feedback.

Rip xxxTentacion

I agree
